The artifact has no source-visible hash or signature verification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T21:39:33.946Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T21:41:16.930Z - **Download time:** 2565 ms - **Static scan time:** 4877 ms - **AI review time:** 95541 ms - **Total time:** 102984 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On Windows first interactive use, the CLI can download a native binary to the user’s Clavue cache, mark it executable, and use it as the pager. The artifact has no source-visible hash or signature verification. - **Trigger:** First interactive CLI use when no local pager is present on Windows; forced on other platforms with CLAVUE\_FORCE\_NATIVE\_DOWNLOAD=1. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted download endpoint can supply executable code to the user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs, dist/clavue.js, dist/cli.js, dist/openai-responses-adapter.js, dist/mao-command.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T21:41:16.930Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote native binary download and execution path - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an unverified runtime native-binary download path, but not credential theft, stealth, or a demonstrated malicious payload. The postinstall hook is limited to package-owned pager files. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/native/clavue-pager\*, %USERPROFILE%\\.clavue\\native\\ - **Network endpoints:** https://www.clavue.com/downloads/native ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Runtime fetches a native pager from a remote URL, writes it to a user cache, then chmods it executable without an integrity check., The download URL is overrideable via CLAVUE\_PAGER\_DOWNLOAD\_URL; default is https://www.clavue.com/downloads/native., Postinstall advertises the Windows native UI download on first interactive launch. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only chmods clavue-pager files under the package’s own dist/native directory., No credential harvesting or unrelated exfiltration was confirmed in the inspected lifecycle and adapter sources. ## Public findings ### 1.
